Disability Insurance

Chances are you will have an employee that requires some form of disability benefits, either due to a non-work related injury, an illness or medical condition. Providing disability insurance is mandated by New York State.  We have put together a highly competitive program for members. 

• FIXED RATE regardless of number of employees or gender – typical plans charge more for women and based on number of employees.
• Enhanced coverage options available beyond state limit of $170/week.
• Quick and easy one-page application: Disability Insurance Enrollment Form
• Premium payments can be made online. 

Voluntary Supplemental Benefits

Voluntary supplemental insurance has become more relevant and necessary as a benefit to help recruit and retain employees. We have worked closely with several insurance carriers to offer members the following programs:

• Group Health Insurance
• Group Dental Insurance
• Group Life Insurance

We will work with you to find the right plan to meet your needs.
